Austrian Nazi Party

The Austrian Nazi Party was a Nazi fascist political party in Austria founded in May 1918 out of the German Workers' Party in Austria's former members who adapted a new national socialist ideology. Most of the party's members supported the Austrian Nazi Adolf Hitler, and in 1934 the group became so powerful that dictator Engelbert Dollfuss outlawed it in vain; they killed him and carried out the Anschluss with Nazi Germany in 1938, uniting Austria and Germany. Thereafter, the Austrian Nazi Party merged with the Nazi Party of Germany.
